Election Thread 2008 MAKE SURE YOU VOTE

[Andrew]

The TYPICAL republican response, in this thread, to news they don't want to to believe, is to immediately try to discredit the news source. I think over the course of the thread they have somehow discredited EVERY viable news source, and beyond that, authors of books.

With a lot of bullshit reasons.

It's not a Republican response, it's a skeptical response. If a journalist creates something and refuses to own up to it by attaching his or her name, it makes me wonder. That doesn't it make it wrong by default, but eyebrows do go up. And I apply this standard to everyone, publication be damned.

Aside from being nervous on her first intensive national interviews, I never saw anything indicating that she lacks any of the above.

"Nervous" as in "can't name any magazines she reads," "doesn't know her own party's foreign policy doctrine," and "not being able to even name a single supreme court case." Dude, she came off as a total bimbo in those interviews, and considering that the McCain team picked and chose who interviewed her, she has no one to blame but herself.

She came across quite well in the debate.

When the bar is on the floor, it's quite easy to hop over it. She came off as someone who was drilled with rehearsed answers that she spouted off like a parrot.

Shit, even McCain couldn't stand to hear her speak. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

She was in one debate and three major interviews. Her handlers wouldn't let her do anymore. The party itself put a media boycott on her. Why do you think they did these things? To protect her from herself. Any candidate that needs that kind of handling, is not cut out for politics squall.

One debate is the contemporary standard for vice presidential candidates.

Look, any shortcomings that you can point out against Palin can be reasonably chalked up to being a noob on the national scene. So what's Biden's excuse?

[MVS]

Bang.

[Andrew]

Bang.

Bang what? I'm still waiting on the names of the alleged journalists.

[Frogacuda]

Ignorant of what?

Politics. Particularly anything other than moral/religious issues that require no particular information or rationale.

Name one politician that isn't. You need power to get shit done.

But a stated intent to expand the powers of the vice presidential office beyond the already unconstitutional territory encroached on by Dick Cheney? That's a bit much.

She was cleared of the Troopergate mess. You must have missed that while you were jerking off to the election results. Try again, cupcake.

Cleared or not on technicalities of low, the tapes and evidence seem pretty clear. She's as corrupt as OJ is a murderer.

In what regard?

Claiming that she didn't think the press should have the legal right to criticize her under the constitution for one. Plus the aforementioned interpretation of the office she was running for.

Bobby Jindal was just on Fox News talking about reforming the Republic-HOLY SHIT ELECT ME IN FOUR YEARS

I feel like we're in for a repeat of Clinton, meaning someone who panders to the left but then votes with the fiscal conservatives every chance he gets.

If Obama votes with the fiscal conservatives every chance he gets, Burg and I will jerk each other off.

How about how everyone in the world thinks that CNN's "hologram" from last night was some real star wars shit, when it's just a green screen that adapts to camera angles.

People are idiots.
